Fleeting Moments & Magic Memories

In Fleeting Moments & Magic Memories, Joanne shares the heartfelt stories of the Magic Memories Friendship Group, a warm, supportive community for people living with dementia and their caregivers.

Through candid biographies, group members reveal their life journeys, the emotional rollercoaster of diagnosis, and how they navigate daily ups and downs with courage, humour, and love. From adapting to changing realities and cherishing precious moments to rebuilding connections, these powerful accounts show that life continues with meaning and joy.

Part memoir and part practical guide, the book also offers essential insights into different types of dementia, common behavioural changes, and compassionate strategies for caregivers. Joanne draws on her own experience caring for her husband David, alongside expert advice on health and wellbeing, home aids, nutrition, legal matters, and support networks.

Warm, honest, and deeply inspiring, this book is a lifeline for anyone touched by dementia, offering hope, understanding, and the knowledge that no one has to face this journey alone.
